Enzymes are often described as following the two-step mechanism: E + S= ES (fast) ES → E + P (slow) where E = enzyme, S = substrate, ES = enzyme-substrate complex, and P = product. (a) If an enzyme follows this mechanism, what rate law is expected for the reaction? (b) Molecules that can bind to the active site of an enzyme but are not converted into product are called enzyme inhibitors. Write an additional elementary step to add into the preceding mechanism to account for the reaction of E with I, an inhibitor.

1) Discuss the transition state(s) in reaction coordinate diagram in the context of ΔG. 2) If an enzyme deceases the activation energy, ΔG‡, by the quantity X, we learned that the forward rate constant is increased by multiplication with the factor eX/RT. Why does this simple fact demonstrate that small changes in activation energy give big changes in catalyzed rates? 7)Two people study the same enzyme. They get different Vmax in each experiment, but the same kcat. Why?

Which of the following statements is true about collision theory? O The orientation factor, p, for most molecular collisions is greater than 1. O An increase in temperature causes an increase in reaction rate primarily because the greater average speed causes the molecules collide more often. O Each collision of reactant molecules results in a reaction occurring. O An increase in the concentration of the reactants causes an increase in reaction rate because the energy of the collisions increases. O In the elementary reaction A + B reactant doubles the overall collision frequency. → AB , doubling the concentration of a
